    Rachel Fleming: Saying that there is guaranteed to be goals has now changed my prediction to 0-0. I might be trying to curse it though.

    How can Southampton put two players like Ings and Minamino on the bench?

    You would think Jack Grealish and James Maddison are shoo-ins for a seat on the plane to the Euros.

    What about Patrick Bamford though? Could he sneak in to the 23-man squad?

    There will be goals tonight, that is for sure.

    But will Southampton sit back like they did against Chelsea on Saturday to claim a point or come out and go toe-to-toe with Leeds?

    Oliver Camp: I'm almost certain that this game will finish 2-2, which is a result that doesn't really do much for either team.

    Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has indicated he is ready to sign a new contract, but would prefer to wait until the end of the season before deciding his future.

    Bielsa's current deal expires this summer and owner Andrea Radrizzani has made it clear he wants him to stay.

    "If the club needs an answer before the end of the season, I will respond before the end of the season," he said.

    "I am not going to manage any other options until my job here at Leeds is done."

    Leeds have only kept one clean sheet in their past eight league matches.

    Marcelo Bielsa's side have conceded 11 goals from set pieces (excluding penalties) in the top flight this season - a joint high.

    The West Yorkshire side have lost back-to-back games but are just one victory shy of 200 in the Premier League.

    Diego Llorente is given a third try to get his Leeds career properly up and running. The Spain international defender's first two tries were ruined by injury but he is in tonight as part of what is likely to be a Leeds back three. The slightly unfortunate Jamie Shackleton is the man to drop out, presumably with an injury.

    Luke Ayling returns to right-back, with Stuart Dallas on the left. Tyler Roberts keeps his place.

    Leeds: Meslier, Ayling, Cooper, Llorente, Dallas, Raphinha, Struijk, Klich, Harrison, Roberts, Bamford.

    Subs: Alioski, Casilla, Helder Costa, Hernandez, Gelhardt, Cresswell, Jenkins, Casey, Huggins.

    Three changes for Southampton from the side that ended that six-game losing streak with the draw against Chelsea.

    The big one sees Danny Ings drop to the bench. Che Adams, who was heavily linked with Leeds in the January transfer window last season, starts in his place.

    Stuart Armstrong is fit again and returns in midfield, with Nathan Tella also handed a place in the starting XI. Moussa Djenepo and Takumi Minamino are on the bench.

    Southampton: McCarthy, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Salisu, Bertrand, Tella, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Armstrong, Adams, Redmond.

    Subs: Stephens, Ings, Djenepo, Minamino, Ramsay, N'Lundulu, Forster, Jankewitz, Chauke.

    These two sides can barely buy three points at the moment, will they get back on the winning trail today?
